Every year at the Healthcare Hackathon, various hospitals and medical (technology) companies meet
enthusiastic people from different fields, such as IT and design, to “rethink healthcare” in
interdisciplinary teams and “work together on creative solutions for the healthcare of tomorrow”.
I also traveled to Mainz to share the knowledge I had gained from my studies and internships in
medical technology. Together with employees from KPMG and SAS, we spent a weekend developing an
optimized dashboard for infusions in hospitals.
After a short briefing about the idea and the current state of development, we got to work on building an initial information architecture, which we later used as the basis for our wireframes and screens.
Collected ideas of dashboards in medical context for inspiration. Also we developed an Stylesheet and decided for colors that we wanted to use in our dashboard.
In the overview, the doctor on duty can see all patients at a glance. According to the traffic
light system, patients with conspicuous or even alarming vital signs are displayed at the top
and in red (or with a yellow dot). If there is an acute need for action on the patient's part,
this is marked directly so that he can quickly see where he needs to intervene.
However, he can also search or filter the list as required and on the right-hand side he has
an overview of his to-do's.
The detailed view shows the doctor all the important information about the patient. In addition
to master data such as name, age, gender, blood group, allergies, ... he can also see the current
vital parameters, as well as a history of how these have developed over the last few hours. If
there is an acute need for action on the patient's part, this is marked directly so that he can
quickly see where he needs to intervene.
He also has access to the latest doctor's letters, image data (such as MRI, X-rays, etc.) and all
other documents relevant to him (blood count, medical records, past diagnoses, medical history, etc.).
